A new search engine for Windows designed to search from the Start menu.
The program is written in pure C and uses some standard Win32 API functions in order to function. MinGW has been used as the compiler. I do give credit to Microsoft for creating this awesome icon, originally located in imageres.dll, that my application uses.
The x86 Windows binary can be downloaded here.
Just start the program and use the following keybindings to interact with it.
Keybindings:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| ESC | Closes the search window |
| Win+F | (re)opens the search window |
| Alt+F4 | Closes the program |
| Up-arrow / wheel-up | Move up in the list of results |
| Down-arrow / wheel-down | Move down in the list of results |
